💬 Making Tax Digital – important changes coming soon

One of our supported business owners Lisa from Acey Bookkeeping reminds us that Making Tax Digital changes are coming: from April 2026, sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 must comply, with the £30,000 threshold following in 2027.

These rules require digital software for records and quarterly updates, so early preparation helps—let us know if you’re interested in an online workshop.
